2018 Oak Grove Truckers Jamboree Dates Announced
The 2018 Oak Grove Truckers Jamboree will be June 8th and 9th. There will be trucks on display, live music, exhibits and much more! Plan to attend today.
Almost twenty years after truckstop entrepreneur Bill Moon began operating Iowa 80 Truckstop in Walcott, Iowa; he decided to launch a business venture in his home state of Missouri and purchased what was then called the Oak Grove Truckstop in 1982. The truckstop consisted of a moderate store, restaurant, diesel fuel pumps and two-bay repair shop.
In 1997, Oak Grove 70 Truckstop was literally torn down and rebuilt from the ground up. A $10 million investment in the property resulted in a new restaurant, store main building, shop and fuel center. Wendy’s and Dairy Queen also opened on site in the new food court. Oak Grove 70 Truckstop became a Petro Stopping Centers franchisee in 2001, opening the door to more trucking fleet contacts. The Petro branding also paved the way to change the existing full-service restaurant to an Iron Skillet. In 2009, Oak Grove 70 Petro received another facelift, remodeling the Iron Skillet restaurant, chrome shop, convenience store area and fuel center.
